EOTS

With the summer coming to a close, I thought I'd share my End-of-the Summer projects that I plan to get off my sewing table in the next couple of weeks. My EOTS projects center around garments that I made over the summmer and are some of my favorite pieces.

These are great Summer-to-Fall transitional pieces which I coined double duty garments. Just a matter of swapping out the short sleeve cardigans for bracelet or long sleeves cardigans or blazers. For the wrap dresses, I will do long sleeves instead of sleeveless and the skirts will also be paired with cardigans/blazer or long sleeve drape neck tops.

Although I have not sewn in 3 weeks, I have been scouring the fabric stores and these few pieces followed me home :)

Great plan and very ambitious, but I know you will do it! I always admire your ability to pick the exact right print to go with the design. I have moved to fall sewing and actually am sewing for a friend.

Our weather has me messed up mentally sewing wise. I know we are entering fall, but with 98 plus temperatures I don't feel I can fully make the jump into fall. I'm planning a few transitional pieces to tide me over.

I'm so glad to know you're ok after Irene Last weekend. I love the fabrics you found. I would love to make a few pieces, but free time will be scarce for the next few weeks. I'll keep my fingers crossed & hopefully find some time to sew.

Oh my what a lovely collection of fabrics you have!!! If you're like me, I know you just can't wait to cut into them and get started! I love your EOTS collection of patterns too...each one of them beautiful!

My sewing for this cruise has taken every moment of my sewing time and I'm afraid I won't be making anything for the fall. When I can back, I'll be moving directly into winter sewing! Although, winter in Florida is probably like fall where you are! Can't wait to see your newest projects completed! and thanks for stopping by with your great comments about my first maxi dress. Good luck on your holiday sewing weekend!!
